Staying Present Through the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

The holiday season can be a stressful time, full of obligations, visitors, traveling, parties, kids’ activities, spending, cooking, cleaning and more. These tasks can make it difficult to be present during this time of the year and experience the joy happening all around us. That is why it is critical to maintain or begin a self-love practice during the hustle and bustle of the holidays.

One way to exercise self-love is through reiki—setting time aside each month or week to align the energy centers in the body. This practice allows us to live in a state of balance between the mind, body and spirit. If we take the time to do this, energy levels go up, decisions are easier to make and the important is no longer usurped by the urgent. This allows the loving, giving and passionate traits that we possess to be shared with our friends, families and communities.
